Sofia Vergara leads this year's Forbes' world's highest paid television actresses' list. The 43-year-old star tied the first spot with Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting with both earning a whopping $28.5 milllion each in 2015.

This is the fourth time that the Colombian-American actress topped the annual ranking. According to E! Online, this is mainly because of her lead role as Gloria Delgado-Pritchett on ABC series "Modern Family." The show earned her nominations for Golden Globe Awards, Primetime Emmy Awards and Screen Actor Guild Awards.

The Forbes reported that along with her television income she has very bankable deals with Cover Girl and Head and Shoulders. She, too, owns a talent management and an entertainment-marketing firm, Latin World Entertainment, which she cofounded in 1994. 

Forbes' gathered data is comprised of their total earnings from June 1, 2014 up to June 1, 2015.

The 29-year-old Kaley, on the other hand, tried to negotiate with the "Big Bang Theory" management to receive $1 million in every episode along with her co-stars Parsons and Johnny Galecki as noted in Daily Mail.

The Gossip Cop also added that the wife of Ryan Sweeting also has endorsements with Priceline.com and appearing in many promotional commercials for a travel-related website.

Moreover, the girlfriend of Joe Manganiello is just one of the three non-white actresses on the said list as wrote on Huffington Post. Mindy Killing the star of "The Mindy Project" is on the eight spot with $9 million while Kerry Washington of "Scandal" followed her on the ninth slot with $7 million. They are the same non-white trio from Forbes' 2014 list.

The E! Online took note that this year's catalog has the both rookies and veterans of Hollywood's wealthiest. Julie Bowen got the second spot with $12 million earning. Emily Deschanel of "Bones" has $6.5 million total gross. Also, Pauley Perrette of "NCIS" ranked with $6 million and Robin Wright of "House Of Cards" owns $5.5 million net worth.

The other television mainstays who made it on the roll are Ellen Pompeo, Mariska Hargitay, Julianna Margulies, Kerry Washington and Patricia Heaton. Too, Amy Poehler, Mindy Kaling, Tina Fey and Zooey Deschanel all earned between $11.5 and $5 million in a span of a year.

Meanwhile, Forbes released this year's highest paid actors in August. Jim Parsons of "The Big Bang Theory" got $29 million -- very close to what Kaley got. Unfortunately, the men's earnings decreased at slower rate. Their income didn't reached down from $20 million until the seventh place according to Huffington Post.
